Arm Exercises
that will Strengthen and Tone your Arms ... and more!

I was looking at postings on arm exercises on a
bodybuilder forum when I came across this question:

"How do male gymnasts have such
big arms?Does anyone know how they have such big arms...like 18" bis.
If they train them everyday...how do they grow so big? They all have
small frames w/ huge arms."

An
Insightful Question

An interesting question, don’t you think? Like most gym going
muscleheads, he does betray an attitude that I don’t agree
with. Meaning, he’s more concerned about the size
and appearance of his arms, as opposed to how
strong and functional they are. Nonetheless, the question is
valid. How do gymnasts develop their arms without lifting weights? Here
are some of the better and more insightful answers he received:

Some Possible Answers

"... a person working out arms
is directly straining just the bi/tri muscle, where as a gymnast is
going to be doing bodyweight movements that require the cooperation of
the entire muscular system to perform it. So a gymnast isn’t
going to over train their muscles because they are not directly
training single muscles"

" I love the way they look, because they make all the experts
look wrong [my emphasis added].They train the same
bodyparts everyday and never lift heavy weights. And, yet they seem to
have muscles most people would kill for. Crazy."

" The guy with the biggest arms
on this years US team was in this month's Men's Health and he never
lifts he only does training that involves his own bodyweight."

The Truth
is ... You Don't need
Weights

If you’ve learned anything at all from reading this site, you
will already know the truth that these bodybuilder guys above are only
beginning to grasp. If you want strong, functional arms, you
don’t need to do arm exercises like bicep curls or triceps
extensions. Just like animals in the wild, the only weight you need to
work is your own. Performing natural, animal-like movements will give
you all the strength and size you need. What’s more, as
you’re training your body in a way that is consistent with
man’s evolution, the strength will be functional as well.

If you are interested in acquiring the natural
animal like strength and muscle tone of a gymnast, here are some arm
exercises you can try:
